'Zoom have just released a new H4Next and it is awesome, I got one of the
first in the country (Oz) and they were a hit at our national language
conference.

I agree. On the sociolinguistic project we're running, we started off using 
one of the older Zoom models (H2, I think), and that was already pretty 
good, but the recording levels were rather low. By the time we got another 
machine, the H4N was out, so we got that instead, and the levels are 
noticeably better. There are also other improvements over the previous 
Zoom, such as adjustable-range mics (90-deg or 120-deg field), an explicit 
separate Stop button (to stop recording on the older Zoom you had to press 
the Record button again), and much easier access to the battery- and 
memory-card-compartments.

So the Zoom H4N is very much to be recommended!
